Is a vehicle considered out of inspection if the annual inspection expires by one day?

Even a one-day overdue period constitutes an out-of-inspection violation, and corresponding penalties should be imposed on the driver of such a vehicle. Once a vehicle's inspection is overdue, the vehicle registration system will automatically mark its status as 'failed to undergo annual inspection on time.' If the vehicle continues to be driven on the road under these circumstances, it violates relevant regulations and will be subject to fines. Annual inspections are legally mandated, meaning they are compulsory, and every vehicle on the road must undergo inspection. To facilitate vehicle owners, the government has introduced a six-year exemption policy for new vehicles that meet the six-year inspection requirements, allowing them to be exempt from annual inspections during this period. Issues arising from failure to conduct annual inspections: Accidents involving vehicles overdue for annual inspection will not be covered by insurance. According to the 'Motor Vehicle Third Party Liability Insurance Clauses,' if an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone the required annual inspection or has failed the inspection, or if the vehicle lacks valid documentation, the insurer will not be liable for compensation. This means the insurance contract only applies to vehicles that are compliant and legally registered. In addition to refusing compensation for accidents involving overdue inspections, insurance companies will also deny claims for stolen vehicles under the same circumstances. Vehicles that fail to undergo annual inspections may be impounded and fined. Under the 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' traffic police can impose a fine of 200 yuan and deduct 3 points from the driver's license for vehicles that have not undergone annual inspections, in addition to temporarily impounding the vehicle.
